My first draft

1 Introduction
It is generally agreed that a lot of people, money and information have crossed international borders easily and quickly. The technology of transport has enabled us to visit other countries and the technology of modern communication has made it possible to send ideas in words and images to all over the world. Thanks to information technology and multinational companies, different cultures and economic systems around the world have influenced each other and international integration has been spreading. Economic integration of the world has been grown due to the increase of world trade and investment. From the aspect of languages, English achieve the status of a world language. It is widely believed that globalisation has brought about profit and variety, however, the wealth has been distributed unfairly and some local cultures have been destroyed or died already. Times (2007) reported that the number of poor people in Africa has doubled in the last two decades because of globalisation. Crystal D. (2003) estimates that at least half of the languages in the world will die out within the next century due to the presence of a global language. In this essay, I would like to review recent research into the effects of globalisation from the aspects of economic, communications and language. Afterwards, I will discuss the benefits to my subject area, which is English Language Teaching.
